NOTES:

1: Thanks to the team at Auto Punditz for sharing these sales numbers with us!

2: Only cars that sell 500+ units (and thus, the relevant ones) have been included in the gainers & losers chart.

3. These manufacturer-reported sales numbers are factory dispatches to dealerships. They are NOT retail sales figures to end customers.

I know it's tough job, but still, may I request for the Two Wheeler Sales Figures & Analysis for the months of August & September 2021 please? I hope the job is not dependent on just one person to get it done; whoever misses it in this forum or not, I'm missing them very badly.

Edit - Just observed, there used to be a time when 7/10 top selling vehicles were from Maruti stable & even first 5 of them from MSIL, this is the first time I'm observing there's just 5 of them from MSIL which explains the origins for such threads

Phew, huge fall in almost all the numbers, 'chips are really down', maybe some amount of management towards meeting the festival demand. The fall is greater in smaller cars, looks like automakers are devoting energies towards more profitable higher models. XUV 500 seems to be in terminal stage of its life cycle. Mahindra cars have shortest life cycle, 10-12 years from big bang to end. Except for Bolero and Scorpio

Tough month for MS. The chip shortage has put a huge dent in the sales numbers. It seems to have affected all manufacturers or the sentiment is in the negative. Most sales numbers are below last month's numbers.

Hopefully, the festive season this month brings some cheer into the market.

It’s really sad to see Endeavour sales going from 928 to zero units. For a forty lakh vehicle, the numbers were very good and it’s not too far from Fortuner.

September figures have no much relevance as all is about the semiconductor shortage.

Here is the overall situation and is bound to be carried forward in coming months too.

Auto Industry reeling under the semiconductor availability struggled to provide cars in meeting the demand. Expected to continue in October too. Most manufactures post a negative M-O-M growth.

The upcoming festive season is expected to be muted and new launches are being postponed as the semi- conductor crisis is expected to affect most OEM’s.

- M&M volumes de-grew at 12.3 percent in Sept 2021 over Sept. 2020 and was placed at the fifth spot in the ranking table. Market share gained is at 1.9%
-Toyota overtook the likes of Renault, Ford, and Honda to place itself in the sixth spot. Records a growth of 14.4% and a market share gain of 2.2%.
- Škoda overtook Nissan to record 3,027 units but records a volume drop of 20.9%(M-O-M) and has a market share of 1.6%

Highlights of Sept-21 dispatch figures:

Putting the semiconductor chip shortage aside, how come Jeep hasn’t sold even a single Made-In-India Wrangler in the past 6 months? Not a single piece even after a price drop? Literally nada in the first half of 2021-22 financial year? Or Jeep hasn’t provided details of the numbers sold?

It’s just sad to see Ford Endeavours numbers fall from 950 to 0. Such a good product. I was soo excited for the new generation of the Endeavour (the leak shared by GTO was soo promising) to hit our shores in 2023 and would’ve been a good upgrade to our 2018 Fortuner. Now with no real competition, I’m expecting Toyota wouldn’t go all out on the next generation Fortuner, but price it ridiculously high.

It is very interesting to see the compact sedan numbers. We are so used to seeing the Dzire selling at least two times more than all its competitors combined. From the past couple of months, the sales numbers of Dzire, Amaze, Xcent/Aura, Nexon, are more or less the same.

Could it be that the taxi/fleet operators are still hurting and struggling badly due to the pandemic, and those that have survived are just pushing their existing cars instead of buying new ones? Assuming, of course, that taxi operators made up a bulk of the sales in this segment.

Observations:
1) Looks like Hyundai-Kia are trying to do some rationalization of critical parts-otherwise how come Seltos which is consistently below 9K has suddenly gone ahead of Creta ? Even the Alcazar dispatches have dropped.
2) Amazing how the Jeep Compass is going from strength to strength inspite of the not-so-strong market sentiments and supply issues. FCA have really done a good job of the 2021 Compass revamp.
3) TML doesnt seem to be badly affected by supply chain issues.
